• Police say a worker was caught during Monday's raid injecting 7 milliliters of a veterinary supplement into horse shampoo before sealing it for sale.
• Officers found boxes already packed for shipment at her Campo Grande pet shop, pointing to online orders bound for buyers in different regions.
• Ferrari promoted the shampoos to more than 500,000 followers and claimed over 20,000 sales in a video, a number her lawyer now disputes.
